1. Typed Scheme will be released as a part of 4.0 so you can play  
with it as you wish.

2. I consider it a nothing but an unfounded rumor that significant  
errors are discovered with type systems. I wouldn't conduct this  
research if finding typo-level errors were the only benefit of types.  
Basic unit testing exposes even more of these typo-level bugs, plus  
some significant ones.
